What if there was something like a Jewish Pope and all the Messianic congregations had to do what he said or else?

This could happen if David the Prince is a mortal.

First option: Evangelize individual Jews who become members of nonjewish congregations.  Method has been in practice for thousands of years.

Second option: Create Messianic Synagogues for Jews to attend.  This has recently been revived.  No messianic shul has survived from the time of Jesus.  One problem with this is that so many nonjews join.  This is what killed them in the past.

Third Option: Give away free hotdogs to jews who beleive in Jesus.

Fourth Option:


Leave the Jews alone and let them be Jews.

G-d gave us EVERYTHING we need in His Torah.

It is perfect.

I really have difficulty understanding the purpose and/or meaning of your posts sometimes. Was this a joke?

SMR-Recently I have been thinking of your tack on things and I think that even though the Bible doesn't spell out in the exact words what we have in the NT the principles are there for people who are serious about Torah, so in a way you are right.

Chow Woman-Yes, I was trying to make a joke.

The joke covers up something.  If there was a Hebrew national church for Israelis and expatriat jews then the concerns of messianics who don't want to be gobbled up in thier own shuls would be alevieated.

The only problem is there would be a more authoritarian structure to Messianic Judaism in this paradigm.

Hebrew National Church, you know, like hot dogs.  One on every corner.

Ok, that's why I didn't get it--we don't have hot dog vendors on every corner around here!
